    I feel like after the 2nd or 3rd passed ball of the inning we should have pulled one of our OF's and had them stand behind Lavarnway cheating to the opposite side. At least then when there's a passed ball there's a lower chance of the batter advancing.

    I just realized that if we lose this game against Houston, we go down 0-2 against possibly the worst team in the majors, and the only thing we have to save us from getting swept is the worst possible matchup of the series, Dempster vs. Cosart.
  3. italstallianion
    I wonder who the pitchers were. I would have thought Wakefield would have been behind one of those. (Until the dates/teams were shown)
  4. italstallianion
    I wonder what the record for passed balls in an inning is.

    I wonder what's the point of having a backup catcher if we're going to use Salty against a lefty.
  7. italstallianion
    I'm not mad about giving up 2 runs to Houston. But being held scoreless, especially with a DH, that's bad. A team that's seemingly built to hit lefties....can't hit lefties.
  8. italstallianion
    I wouldn't be surprised if we lost a game at Houston, but I always thought we'd lose Dempster vs. Cosart.
  9. italstallianion
    That could end up being the game the way this one is going. And vs. Houston? Really?

    That's one thing I never got, baseball appears to be the only sport without consistent regulation fields. Imagine if some football and basketball teams changed the dimensions of their fields?
  11. italstallianion
    I only watched the basketball one. As far as I'm concerned there are no others. Just like there will never be more than 151 Pokémon.
  12. italstallianion
    I wonder if it's of any significance that of the 13 players, everyone but Braun and A-rod appear to be international.
  13. italstallianion
    Either that or nasty surgery scars on the other side. To Pal's point both Lackey and Teixeira look like they belong in stables.
  14. italstallianion
    Plus Plus Peavy can turn into a 1st round draft pick while Garza can't.
  15. italstallianion
    This year but with an option for next year?
  16. italstallianion
    Not to mention Peavy cost Iglesias and 3 lottery tickets (highest ranked prospect was 36th) whereas Garza cost Olt, Edwards (two top ten prospects I believe), Grimm, and 1-2 PTBNL's, in which there is the potential another decent piece can be named a PTBNL.
  17. italstallianion
    I always figured A-Rod would wait until Christmas Eve and have a "LeBron like decision" in an effort to upstage Christmas.
  18. italstallianion
    Sounds like the Yankees motto.

    I feel like trading for Stanton is like creating a problem just to solve it. Just for argument's sake, is Stanton really that much better than Trout and Harper?
  20. italstallianion
    I condone in it. If nothing else it organizes the "crap" if it doesn't "eliminate" it. I like organization.
  21. italstallianion
    This is a really good post. Very well thought out and articulated.
  22. italstallianion
    I don't understand what you want SFF to do. I think he already explained why it matters. Yes, you are correct an .800 OPS is above average (correct). But everyone else is correct that an .800 OPS is "meh" for a 1st baseman but would make you elite for a C/SS. That's why player position matters. The type of guys that can play SS/C aren't often the type that can hit with a .800 OPS, therefore they are rarer. .800 hitting OPS are fairly common and as such not remarkable, and certainly not worth the same amount of money.
  23. italstallianion
    Not that my opinion matters but player position is huge when comparing offensive production and compensation.
  24. italstallianion
    Is one nightmare game worth the additional risk of injury from repeated use of one pitcher? Granted, Koji doesn't throw hard and his lack of walks leads to low pitch counts, but with Goldschmidt batting 9th in the inning, why not give Rubby De La Rosa the nod? That was his 52nd appearance on the season, in a 4-0 game against a mediocre offense.
  25. italstallianion
    In Napoli's defense his OPS was .808 compared to Gonzalez .818 (entering this game though Napoli's obviously got worse) When you consider that one is being paid a $5M base salary plus incentives and the other one is paid $21M on a long term deal...I guess I'll have to put up with the lower average and higher strikeouts.
